Concerned Alumni stop donating to Universities that inhibit freedom of speech on Canadian Campuses

Some Student Associations are trying to muzzle open debate on abortion. If you are an Alumni who donates to your Alma Mata, stop giving money to universities that are muzzling free debate about abortion and tell them why. Contact the Alumni Association, the Student Union, and the President of the University. It will make a difference!

York University

• First, email Joseph Brean of the National Post who wrote this article and thank him for his work. Reinforce that this is an important issue that the media must pay attention to. Joseph Brean: jbrean@nationalpost.com
• Second, send a letter to the editor of the National Post responding to the article. http://www.nationalpost.com/contact/letters.html?name=Letters&subject=Letter+to+the+editor
• Third, email Robert J. Tiffin, York's vice-president who has publicly disagreed with what is happening. He needs to know his stance is supported and that we (well-reasoned people who happen to be prolifers) feel strongly that he should exert his power over the YFS who are showing clearly discriminatory actions against a group of students.

• Fourth, express your concern for freedom of speech at York U and the discriminatory actions taken by a student union who is supposed to represent all student, despite personal beliefs.

Carleton University

December 5, 2006, CUSA voted 26-6-1-1 (26 in favour, 6 against, 1 abstaining, 1 absent) of becoming officially a "pro-choice" body, and removing any of the associations support from all actions it claimed were "anti-choice", drawing critical reactions not only from anti-abortion groups, but from some campus groups, such as the Carleton University Debating Society, that claimed CUSA was stifling open debate. If you are an Alumni of Carleton, and you believe this is wrong, then stop donation to the school and tell them why.

The Canadian Federation of Students

I’m am an alumni of Ottawa University, BCOM,  Magna Cum Laude, class of 2000. The Canadian Federation of Students has taken a stand against pro-life clubs - by banning them from CFS campuses. This group of individuals is abusing its power by deciding which points of view can exist on the university campus. This decision is expecially disturbing, as it demonstrates:

1. The CFS does not want women to be fully informed - "choice" rhetoric is being used to marginalize women across the country.
2. The CFS does not tolerate differing viewpoints - this is totalitarianism.
3. The CFS has made a sweeping motion that do not represent all CFS students - this demonstrates a lack of transparency, and that the CFS accepts a dogma of dictatorship.

The Liberal Press defends the rights of Prolife groups

Muzzling a debate is interfering with a woman’s right to make an informed choice. Regarding the muzzling of debate on abortion, even the national Gay paper, XTRA recently had commentary from a “Pro-choice” lesbian  called “Fresh face, old fight”, Apr. 23, 2008

“…At both Carleton and York University, student politicians recently discussed banning or yanking funds away from anti-choice groups that tried to organize events on campus. While I am sure the students were well-intentioned, the fact that they chose to censor a debate, rather than work hard to win it with better facts and more persuasive arguments, signals that we need some intergenerational information sharing – pronto…”

It is clear that the student union is completely inconsistent even with the most liberal approaches to diversity. This is not an issue about where each of us stands on the unborn, which every scientist on the planet acknowledges as human, and 95% of aborted unborn have a beating heart. It is an issue about free speech which is being violated.
